3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Very
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - Two

I think the best game so far as it was full of action and challenges. Once my thoughts are collected, an AAR to follow...

Numidians and Romans again, Iacta Alea Est, 2 players. Close one, though the Romans won this time, despite a lot of morale tests. I'm starting to think that successive morale tests should become harder to pass; sometimes the decision can seem a bit arbitrary.

1. Baroque
2. Thirty Years War Swedes v Catholic League
3. Quite comfortable for a first attempt
4. Yes
5. Solo

A draw going right down to the wire. I forgot about exhausted units and their impact on the lowering of army morale (although this had no impact on the outcome as both armies broke at the same point)

It gives a reasonable game and reaction is much more playable than in impetus. The rules give a good feel for the very different types of cavalry in the period. Even a unit of Croatian Light Cavalry had its moment of glory charging a unit of Latta Ryttare in the rear!

Looking forward to giving this a proper play through with a real opponent as that's where the proof of the pudding lies.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Mortium et Gloria
2) What armies were confronted? - my Later Imperial Roman vs Pontic
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - no, I tried to be too clever and lost
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - 2nd
5) How many players were in the game? - two

As I said, I tried to be too clever and was smashed to pieces!

1) Bloodbowl
2) Elves (me) vs Skaven (bro)
3) yep love 'm
4) no, played lots and lots
5) 2

Ready for kick off



The rat ogre on the rampage before being horribly killed by puny elves 



Got completely murdered first half even after the demise of the rat ogre went in for oranges with 5 players left and 1 _ 0 down. Pulled it back 2nd half, last gasp touchdown to finish 2 -2.]

I love Bloodbowl !

If Leon had unlimited funds, I'd ask if I could make some figures for a mini version of that.
(Travel Bloodbowl, anyone ?)

Can't see that being commercially viable, sadly. 

Lovely looking game, Matt ! 

Cheers - Phil

Good looking game Matt. I like the idea of Oranges at half time

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Blücher
2) What armies were confronted? - 1815 Anglo-Allied vs French
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - after an hour, yes.
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - yes.
5) How many players were in the game? - three. Two Brits, one French
Squeaked a win, we only needed one unit each to break by the end, really enjoyed it. Couple of classic moments, with our first unit blown to pieces by massed French artillery. Twice French cavalry charged unprepared British foot units and lost. British heavy cavalry deciding the only decent thing to do was to take French artillery battery.
Great game, next game already booked! 

Looking forward to it. I've gone through my Prussians - massed Landwehr it is - and just need to cut some temporary bases. Also been looking at other armies - got a thing about Eylau, gotta love a bit of snow - and the Peninsula - downloaded the first couple of Sharpes from On Demand.

Sounding great Gennorm!

1. Field of Battle 2

2. Italians v. Austrians 1866

3. Yes

4. Many games played now

5. Two players

This was a hilarious game - two abysmal comic opera armies trying to have a go act each other and not doing too well. After five hours of play a very minor tactical victory went to the Austrians, who still had three morale points left, whilst the Italians had now run out and were handing them to the Austrians. The Italians had lost four infantry battalions with a further three in rout. The Austrians had lost some artillery, with cavalry and the much vaunted Kaiser jagers in rout. A very see-saw affair eventually decided by time and morale points. A few shots:







Not my best efforts as on a phone camera. All 15mm figures painted for my mate in Hoylake.

Just seen your game Leeman, nice figures, are you using FOB2 or our FOB2 variant ?

Looks a lot of fun Cameronian!

That was straight FOB2. It was an amusing game.
